    He's so infuriating at times. No reason he can't be this good all time.

    A bit annoying when he hunts for fouls on the jumper. Refs never give him that and almost always lead to transition the other way. Left AD in some tough spots off the PnR.

    That being said when you can shoot like that and have that kind handle a lot is forgiveness

    Great game.

    Stop doing knee-high passes to a cutting big.

    I thought the Warriors were significantly outplaying us for the first 18 minutes or so of the first half. We were completely out of sorts and looked shook. When they went up 11, it felt like it could be another blowout loss.

    So shoutout to DLo for his early scoring barrage. I think this game could have gone VERY differently if he didn’t start off on fire like that

    He's a smooth operator when his shots falling.. we're nearly unstoppable when he plays like this.... some of his defense was good tonight, more so than usual.

    Only complaint is the lane bounce passes to A.D. , rarely does A.D. get them.

    Red hot shooting tonight and we needed it. So glad to see Dlo delivering in these playoffs. He had a rough start to them but he's making up some serious ground.

    well, his feet can't catch. those were very bad passes. AD has great hands. if he's not catching, you've thrown a bad pass.

    now, russell has hit him with some nice ones in previous games, so hopefully, this was just a hiccup. but it's not about who's catching those because nobody would.

    Yeah, he normally takes care of the ball and his passes are crisp. He was just off yesterday. I'm sure they'll work on it some more.

    What a great start to the game and eventually a good first half. Usually we go to DAR to start the second half.

    I have the same complaints about those pocket passes to AD, those things get ironed out with a full season of experience and chemistry.

    Very good game for Dlo. We needed his early scoring.

    Not surprised he lit it up. He shoots way better at home like the rest of the team. Hope it carries over cause we need game 4.

    Game 3: Steph Curry 4 for 10 from 3
    D-Lo 5 for 8 from 3

    That's a weird game right there. Anomalous.

    Letting the game come to him or taking the reins? James was conserving himself so Russell's production was needed.
